Global Village and the role of Computer

Today the world is called as “Global Village” and it is possible due to the rapidly growth of sharing information. Now, the question arise that what is the “Sharing Information”. First, Let me define what is information. To know about the information it is compulsory to have some knowledge about the data and data processing. Data is a collection of raw material about any particular thing or person or in other words unprocessed or unorganized information is called data. When we have collected the data our next step is to arrange it so that I become some useful information. To do so, we need some processing on it (our collected data) and when we process the data, it becomes useful information. So the sharing of this information leads us towards the globalization of world. In the present era, every passing moment has a story in itself. Every second gives us lot of to know and the events from all over the world are ready to share them. So, the circle completes in this way:
1) First, Collection of row figures and facts about the rapidly changing events
2) Process on these collections of data so it becomes some useful information.
3) Share this useful processed data (Information)
All these above mentioned steps leads us towards the “Globalization of World” it was not possible prior the invention of computer. But as the computer become a common device in all over world. The information (in any sort or form) compiled and ready for share so, if the current world is called “Global Village”. It is only due to the computer because it helps us in above-mentioned three steps, which, leads us towards the “Global Village”. For example, it helps us to collect the figures and facts (Data). Then we can process data according to our requirement so, that our data become some useful information and finally it plays a very vital role to share that information. So, it would be rightly to said that “Globalization” is just due to the device called ‘Computer”
